Morten Lauridsen: "There are too many things out there that are away from goodness. We need to focus on those things that ennoble us, that enrich us.""

Lauridsen is fantastic. I've been hearing his work on the radio in recent weeks and thank goodness you posted this so now I know how to spell his name and find his work!
